The increasing strength of chess engines, the millions of computer games and the volumes of opening theory available to every player are making top-level chess less imaginative. Decisive games in super-tournaments have declined, while the number of games with what I'd call "creative" content is also on the slide.
The 2018 world championship match between Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana, for example, ended with zero decisive classical games. (Carlsen defended his world title by winning a rapid-game playoff.)
This is not the players’ fault, but the reality they face. It would be strange to expect them to deliberately decrease their chances of a positive outcome by taking unreasonable risks for the sake of playing more “entertaining” games. From my own experience, I know how difficult it has become to force a complex and interesting fight if your opponent wants to play it safe. As soon as one side chooses a relatively sterile line of play, the opponent is forced to follow suit, leading to an unoriginal game and an inevitably drawish outcome.

Need stronger alphas that will agree to a draw from the first move.

In saying “the perfect game”, he means that every move of the game was the best possible move, in other words, zero mistakes
@@borisssino But his argument is that chess has gotten so high level and so by the book that nearly every move is preplanned and games regularly end in draws. All this does is introduce some chaos for a bit until new preplanned moves are discovered and it arrives to the same point chess is at today
He never complained that the championship games ended in a draw.
@@pokerbuddy62
He didn't complain about that. Kramnik did so he introduced this variant to try and counter it.
You did not get the point. I think he meant chess would be more interesting without castles because it puts you into more dangerous positions. And yes eventually people would turn it into boring positions but that would take few years and lot of undiscovered traps could appear. Idk, this change is something not big so probably human chess wouldn't change that much.
If you want to see no-castling analysis from an engine like Stockfish, just move all four knights out to shuffle the rooks, then bring them back to their starting squares and begin the analysis from there.
Smart!!
Genious!!!
It's another way to do this. I'm a software developer and their code is avaliable but you don't need to mess with it. I think you can "blacklist" certain things. It's so long I messed with stockfish I don't remember how but it's possible.
@@alpha007org yeah, but this is a way to do it if you don't know much about coding and stuff
@@arcycatten most software also has board edit analysis where you can just tell the game that castling is already invalid, and then continue from position.
But yea, it really wouldnt be that hard to trick the engine into playing a default game with no castling.

4:05 - *"Who are we to argue with Alpha?"*
Its amazing how we have reached a point in time in Chess History wherein it would be pointless for Humans to argue with an A.I.
It were only about 2-3 decades ago wherein A.I. were a laughing stock in Chess.
If I'm being pedantic, and I usually am, the first "proper" victory came in 1997. Given the increase in computing power, we are insanely beyond the capability of that today. Deep blue scored 11.38 GFLOPS on LINPACK, which is used for bench marking super computers, and was the 259th fastest on the planet at the time, and took up two computer racks.
Today we have smart phones that score 7.5 GFLOPS and fit in your pocket.
What will be really interesting to see, is how well a human player will do against other human players, if they've only played chess against Alpha Zero their entire life and has only looked at Alpha Zero games.
Martin Schou these are the useless information (to me as a chess illiterate) that I love seeing in the comments ❤️ 👍

It was like 2 years ago AI was a laughing stock in Go. Now MasterGo can humiliate any human by orders of magnitude every single game.

I can see why this game is so beautiful. Black played the perfect defense to the point where they were impenetrable, and white played the perfect offense to the point where black couldn't do anything but defend.
When I see how this game draws, it makes me think of the immovable object vs the unstoppable force; where black is the immovable object and white is the unstoppable force, and when it came down to it, neither of them could win or lose in the end.
AKA they just pass through each other

Some Ideas:
Idea 1: Have GMs play for 16 steps each. Then give the game to AlphaZero and see which side wins.
Idea 2: Have GMs and AlphaZero play as a team. In a team comprising of AlphaZero and a player, each will play one move every other step.
@William Muraszko that's actually a cool ass story lol
With Idea 2, the GMs+AlphaZero wins b/c AlphaZero=AlphaZero, but GM > player. Could you clarify that?
@@theuseraccountname Two teams, each is a GM+AlphaZero. So, there are two GMs and two AlphaZeros.
In Vanilla format, the sequence for playing is GM1-GM2-AZ1-AZ2 where AZs are exactly the same algorithm with identical knowledge base (the two AZs have equal level of training).
In a trained format, each GM could come with his own trained AZ (the same algorithm, but each GM trains his own AZ). This could also make people interested in training their own AZs.
It would be chaos because it would be 2 different plans on the same board, or 4 different actually. Interesting

What I was expecting of a perfect computer game: lots of subtle moves, you dont understand how it works but somehow it leads to an advantage.
What the perfect computer game really is: Every piece hangs
the pices hanging, while it being a bad idea for the opponent to take them, are exactly the subtle moves you dont understand/don't see that create an advantage xD
this has to be satire tho.
Well, that's precisely the ingenuity of the moves.
And somehow they couldn't divise a way to capture those hanging pieces.
Yet you would be losing if you capture the hanging pieces hahaha
The story of how the A2 pawn got to B6:
0:00 Humble beginnings of a humble pawn.
4:43 Moves to A4. It's adventure begins.
9:21 Gets its first blood on B5. Protected by a bishop and knight, but threatened by the black pawn on A6, the A2 pawn puts itself in a brave position.
17:24 The A2 pawn moves up to B6. The bishop that once protected it has long been gone. Right before it lies the powerful Black Queen. The pawn gets itself ready. It knows its purpose: to be prepared to get be killed by the beast that stood before it, and weaken Row 7, so that White can advance to checkmate. The pawn is almost scared, but the nobility of its goal erases any fear it had.
Lord of the rings but chess
Better character arc than most anime.
Not all heroes wear capes
We even got the good ending with the pawn surviving until a truce gets called to bring peace
Haha good story
"Who amongst us remembers how this pawn even got to B6?"... Literally summarises the entire game XD

This is what the archetypal "chess game between geniuses" looks like. Almost every move is a super sharp tactical shot. This is wild.
No it's not. It's just a machine playing against a machine, two souless agregates of metal and microchips pretending to play chess.
Would you be in awe to see two machines drawing the perfect score in a powerlifting competition? This is what those games are to me.
Le Cobra, I’ll answer that in a few parts: a direct reply to your question, and then a general response to your comment as a whole, arguing that AlphaZero is interesting as an entity and that the game’s beauty should be independent of who played it.
To your question, actually I would be impressed insofar as I comprehend the magnitude of the robot’s achievement, but I wouldn’t be in awe of the robot’s strength because I have seen stronger robots. Back when extremely powerful machines were invented, like the steam engine and the hydraulic press, everybody was in awe of those machines’ strength, except for religious zealots who felt that humans should not “play god,” and the people whom such machines put at a competitive disadvantage in some industry. I don’t think either of these objections are well-founded; however, I will discuss them if you disagree.
The thing that’s special about AlphaZero is its status as a maximal element under a particular ordering. In the same way that one, especially a child, can be in awe of a blue whale for being the largest animal, or a cheetah (or peregrine falcon) for being the fastest, there is natural allure to AlphaZero as an entity in it of itself. Now, most people grow bored of such things because they realize that the sets they’re considering are arbitrary, which devastates the maximal elements’ universal significance (with plural in the case of a partially order set). However, if you had the opportunity to observe the coldest place in the universe or experience the quietest room, then (provided curiosity hasn’t been stomped out) such childish wonder may be temporarily restored, proving that it’s a natural human inclination rather than a merely childish urge.
Moreover, I’ll argue that a game of chess exists at a platonic level, much like a mathematical truth, and so can (and often should) be evaluated as having some beauty independently of any extrinsic context-that is, context not solely concerning the intrinsic state of the game. This is because the rules and starting position for a game of chess are established a priori, the same as the axioms and rules of inference are established a priori for any formal axiomatic system of deduction. So, there is a strong analogy between positions on a chess board and mathematical theorems, and (importantly!) between *games* and *proofs* of mathematical theorems. Indeed, mathematical truth, established by proof, is often regarded (for good reason) as the ultimate example of platonic objects. And so, if chess is a special case, then surely chess has a strong platonic attribute. Why, then, should a game of chess have an intrinsic evaluation of its beauty? Well, because the game is disconnected from the material world, as a platonic object. Sure, the game might be better regarded in some contexts as a character in a story containing some other context, but that would be an alternative interpretation, as the intrinsic one is always valid (and is often utilized in establishing the game’s character within the context of the storied interpretation).
In light of this, I would like to propose the following analogy contrast the one you provided: Tal vs Larsen (or any number of other human games) is to AlphaZero vs AlphaZero as the Grand Canyon is to Valles Marineris. We are witnessing strength surpassing anything we’ve ever seen before at the advent of new technological advancements. Additionally, the game itself is attacking and sharp, and fought to a draw. I think it’s only fair to acknowledge that there is merit to this game, if there’s merit to any game.

Skittle Scopes, it’s important to respect each other’s opinions in order to maintain a civil discourse. Even though I disagree with Le Cobra, I appreciate that he/she spoke up and shared because it presented me with the opportunity to review my opinion and reevaluate. In the absence of such opportunities, it is more difficult to grow and improve. Therefore, it is bad for everybody to discourage dissenting opinions by shaming them. (Also, just because a response is long doesn’t make it good; Le Cobra could very well come back with a brilliant counter-rebuttal with which I agree. Indeed, perhaps I agree with him/her and simply don’t know it yet!)

most complicated game ever, got lost after agadmator start showing a line
And then this maybe happened, but of course it did not, I'm like am I too high or did he just use words to cross my eyes
He really likes side lines. after he comes back from a side line, I already forget what was the starting position.
Definately not the most complicated game
@@Nick-vy3ee Not really 4000. Leela Zero is a much stronger engine than A0 and its currently rated 3441. www.chess.com/computer-chess-championship#event=ccc11-round-3&game=76
You guys have been brainwashed into thinking that A0 is the strongest chess entity. But A0 is not competing in any serius competition, and with no serius hardware. In the CCC championship their hardware is equal for all engines and its a championship that A0 refused to participate.
If you want to see the most complicated games, you have to see LC0 playing against SF10 DEV.
A0 games are complicated yes, but not the most complicated. A0 is not that strong compared to LC0. Not anymore.
NUKE so why isn’t alpha zero considered over 4k to you?
“Maybe I will push this pawn....... someday.......”
“Tomorrow at 2:30 PM it is.”
4:20 "Developing the Rook"
This was me when I was a kid
And it was in every position that everyone was like "what??"
AlphaZero after the game: Congratulations, you played yourself
19:29 This sounds like an interesting idea for chess tournament. Let Alpha play Alpha x number of moves to where the game is equal for black and white, then sit the players down and have them go from there.
the reason this is 23 minutes long is because is because agadmator keeps doing 3 minutes of moves and then saying:"but alpha doesn't fall for this."and going back 3 minutes of moves
You know we've solved chess when the AI offers a draw on the first move
Ishaan Salhotra Haha chess will be solved when white wins 100% since they start with the first move.
@@TheBussyAnnihilator Prove it! No guarantee this is correct.
@@SamuelPearlman All chess engines give white a slight advantage in the analysis because they get to make the first move.
@@TheBussyAnnihilator I agree that that is the case. I disagree that this proves that chess is solvable for a 100% white win.
@@SamuelPearlman Well idk if chess is solvable but it makes sense to me that the side who starts with an advantage before the first move would win everytime
"Who are we to argue with Alpha"
-Agadmator 2k19
Ikr we filthy humans won't understand supreme Alpha's thinking XD
4:06
Alpha1 shall argue alpha zeros ;)
The thing is we can t argue with Ai in any other areas not only chess. These is just the start i think. In short time(10-15 years) the ai will solve the chess.
hahahahhaha
I am always amazed by how he memorises all the moves
He has the moves listed in a pgn file in the second screen.
Eventually alpha will get so strong that it will offer a draw on the first move because it sees all of this.
Will get so strong that will analyze opponents and will be able to predict how many moves needed to checkmate him
If chess ever becomes a solved game, then Alpha will eventually offer a draw on the first move, if the a perfect game is drawn, or Alpha will calculate how many moves until forced checkmate, if a perfect game is won by either side.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 Don't think alpha zero actually calculates all the lines or any lines at all. It just automatically knows only the best next move for every possible position (assuming its trained for long enough) so it doesn't actually need to go into depth as for examples stockfish does.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 Actually, Stockfish calculates about 800 million moves per second, And still loses about 9/10 matches against alpha zero and put in mind that alpha zero calculates about 800 thousand move per second. So putting this in perspective, we can clearly observe that the engines calculate useless lines which can look like a sacrifice for them and keep going in the useless lines more and more. while a human brain can notice that this move is useless without analyzing the whole board and all moves till a checkmate. Even tho, an engine is always gonna be better. Who knows after neuralink of elon musk, we may have a chance to beat alpha zero, one day
alpha: what do you see?
alpha: everything ... that's my curse ...
alpha: draw?
alpha: (sighs) okay
I would love to see normal alpha vs one of these alphas that can’t castle to see if it can draw castling alpha
daaamn thats a good idea you have there,i also want to know the results
I'm pretty sure castling alpha would destroy the non-castling alpha. They're of the same strenght and one of them has an advantage.
@@tomasjosefpiano8902 yes, everybody is pretty sure that's the case, but wouldn't it be awesome to know for sure that if that was the case. I mean these computers are teaching us how to wipe our own asses. Think about how much they are changing the game of chess. So since we can ask the question about castling, we should ask the question.
You would have to add code to the non castling one so that while it can't castle itself, it takes into consideration the fact that the other ai can and incorporates it into the game.
@@tomasjosefpiano8902 here also one alpha has an advantage - the white one, as it has the first move.
This variant is called “Indian chess” in Russia. It’s quite popular there.
It is the way chess was originally played. That's why Indian Chess
Isn't there something in Indian chess about the king being able to move like a knight at some point?
@@jasonanno3881
The king can make a knight move once in a game, known as Indian castling
@@abhir7823 wow that is so much cooler!
@@jasonanno3881 And also even in the ordinary game once checked though you haven't moved the king, you can't castle. That's hard as fuck.
When watching this game I am reminded of a quote by Bird about Steinitz. Take the pieces off the board and them in a closed bag, shake them vigorously for 2 minutes, and then drop them all back onto the board from a height of 2 feet. This is the playing style of AlphaZero
"I can do this all day"
"Yeah I know"
according to the lack of 'spoiler: alpha zero won' comments it will be a draw
That's some Alphazero reasoning there.
@@user-vo8zx1db6m its not obvious
@@philippfrogel9355 it... should be. By definition, something playing perfectly cannot lose. Any game with no random elements and the potential to draw will always end in a draw if both players play optimally. To Alpha, chess is as simple as Tic-tac-toe (or Knots and Crosses if you prefer); any competent TTT player should never lose, just as any perfect chess player should never lose. But if neither player can lose, that by definition results in a draw.
@@researchinbreeder its not obvious for it being not even true in general. you don't use any properties of the game and say at perfect play its always a draw. i could create a game where at perfect play of both players one player - lets say the white one - still always wins. also we have no clue how the absolute strongest play could look like, since chess hasn't (and will never) be fully explored. maybe white has forced checkmate in 256, who knows? ;D unlikely though, but possible. and this term of perfect play just refers to the strongest one we know at the time, so this is no absolute truth we can work with
@@philippfrogel9355 the properties of the individual game don't matter aside from having the potential for a draw to occur and not involving uncertainty/randomness. Chess may be complex, but its still a closed system with a finite number of possible meaningful moves (even if to a layperson it looks limitless). This means that it becomes possible to calculate what perfect play looks like, hence why analysis engines can exist at all. Perfection in this context is self-evident; any system with finite possibilities and without random elements will always have perfect play, and if there is a way for the game to draw then two players who always make the perfect move should always result in a draw. It's mathematics.
Fantastic video. I'm not good at chess, but I don't have to be to follow and appreciate your commentary.
oh hey it's taran from lmg nice
Didn't expect to see you here...
A wild Taran the Macro King appeared.

That’s how it starts taran.... 78 videos later and ur an avid chessplayer
“And it is as of this moment that both Alpha’s are on their own.” I had to replay that one....
What is fascinating is that the whole match took: 1 nanosecond.
Well, may be it had, atleast in the minds of AlphaZero. They played slowly just to entertain us humaaaans.
It takes longer than that
@@tomatenbomber8830 it's a hyperbole, obviously it didn't take 1 nanosecond but for sure it took less than one second which is still insane
@@romanpisani8157 i ubderstand its a hyperbole, but i think you are underestimating the complexity of this game. Games between chess engines last way longer than that. Of course they could play a game that quickly but they would play much much worse. I couldnt find any certain information about this game, but i found that some regulations for engine vs engine games are 40 min for 40 moves.
@@romanpisani8157 you have to think of it this way. Chess has way to many possibilities. With the current technology you can treat it like an infinite amount. The more time you have the more of that infinite ocean you can cross. But you will never cross it no matter how fast (engine) or slow (human) you are and also no matter how much time you have each move. The more time per move you have, the better you play, but right now it is almost impossible to play pefectly.
@@tomatenbomber8830 I think you are underestimating the power of current technology. I understand that chess is complex, but you have to understand 1. Not all outcomes are calculated, because that would be nearly impossible. 2. I will be honest, I am new to chess. I was intrigued by the first game that a computer beat a human in chess. If you go back and watch the game (name I cant remember) you will see that the computer is able to computer almost ever move in under a second. That was running on an intel pentium processor, and modern CPUs are exponentially faster.

It’s such a complicated and amazing game. Just move after move of things I wouldn’t even consider playing. Hanging a piece for compensation like 5 moves down the line? Incredible stuff.
I love your commentary with all of the variations every move and I love that you have a great understanding of chess. This has helped me too be better. Thank you😍😍😍😍
You showed that incredibly well. Loved how you explored the lines. Had to remind myself several times that we were still exploring a line but it felt strong every time you returned to the main game so was really enjoyable to watch. This lvl of chess feels like the players exited the known heights of the traditional game and re entered the chess universe at another lvl that feels like it's playing five dimensions at once.

In addition to moving the kings around and back after move 2, every good chess program's editor has the option to disallow castling for both sides in the analysis.
You just increased Agadmator's vast chess knowledge.

Respect for not only not getting lost in those moves, unlike us mere mortals, but also remembering what the lines are and explaining the reason for almost everything.
00:00 And it was in this position I laughed hysterically as there were no reasons for me as a human being to actually keep up with all the lines.
Humanity: let's play without castling to avoid engine lines
Also humanity: alpha vs alpha without castling
AI in a few years: Look at this children playing, so cute

AI vs AI in a few years: Draw on round 5, both sides realize the other is an AI and it's pointless to press farther.
